I am super excited to have one of my poems in Amaryllis today. My huge thanks go out to editor, Stephen Daniels!
I read a post yesterday from, Writing to Freedom, about internet addiction, and although I don’t think I suffer from such an affliction, I have been feeling unbalanced and spending too much time online. I need to unplug for a few days, work on my writing (the poetry collection I have threatening to delve into for months), spend time with friends, read……you get the picture.
I am sorry for all of the posts and pictures and poems and stories that I will miss out on for the next 5 days, but hopefully I will return feeling a bit more balanced, refreshed, and decided about some things in my life. Happy writing and art to everyone. Read you soon!!!!!!!
What an introduction! I am so proud to be a part of the kind of Literary collective that produces writing like this. An Exquisitely Beautiful piece!
Rose-gold sunbeams set the autumn trees ablaze
Under skies consumed by the pouring rain
My mind caught in a silver haze
I search for glimpses in the rearview mirror
And hold open the palms of my hand out the window
Hoping to catch drops of nostalgia
That quench my soul like water
I see drive by memories
Strewn apart by the wind
And buried deep in muddy waters
They swirl apart the tattered pages in my mind
But dissipate quickly on the tongue
I try to capture phantoms in a glass bottle
But memories are not wine
They don’t get richer as they age
They haunt me
And as seasons die
I try to dig up their bodies
Forever left
Chasing ghosts.

I was invited to participate in a Black and White photo challenge and I accepted (with much hesitation) because the invite was from Grace, who I totally adore!!! But, I was nervous. I don’t take pictures, especially not outside, because, well, I have the whole visually impaired, partially sighted, low vision, cataracts, blindness thing going on. I had no idea what I was going to do. Continue reading “Partially Sighted Irony”
